When Faith Feels Fragile


Lately, I’ve been in a season where my faith feels more like a whisper than a roar.

Since March, I’ve been struggling with pain in my right knee — constant discomfort, physical therapy, doctor’s appointments…the whole nine. And just when I thought I could see a little light, my left knee decided to join the party. Now, some days it's hard just to walk — and that’s not just a physical battle; it’s a mental and spiritual one too.

I’ve found myself questioning:

“God, how am I supposed to keep going when it hurts just to move?”
”How do I stay strong in faith when my body feels so weak?”

These are the moments we don’t talk about enough. The ones where you still believe in God but also feel frustrated. Where you’re trying to be positive but everything inside you is weary. Where the smallest tasks feel like mountains.

If you’re here — in this space where faith feels fragile — know you're not alone. God doesn’t abandon us when we’re tired. He doesn’t expect us to have it all together. In fact, His strength is made perfect in our weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

This season is teaching me to lean on God even when I can barely stand. To be okay with not being okay. To trust that healing — physical, emotional, and spiritual — often comes slowly, but it does come.

So if all you can do today is whisper a prayer or just breathe through the pain, that's enough.You’re still showing up. And that is faith — even when it feels fragile.
